Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels decline significantly, leading to undesirable effects. HGH therapy involves supplementing synthetic HGH to restore hormones to youthful levels, providing anti-aging and therapeutic benefits.
At the Renewal Hormone Clinic in Reseda, we specialize in HGH treatment protocols customized to your unique needs. With an integrative approach focused on your overall wellbeing, we help patients realize improved vitality, body composition, skin texture, bone strength, mood and more.
Declining HGH levels manifest in various symptoms. Be aware of these common signs of growth hormone deficiency:
If you are experiencing any combination of these symptoms, HGH testing is advisable to determine if you would benefit from growth hormone therapy.
Accurately diagnosing growth hormone deficiency involves assessing clinical symptoms along with HGH blood tests. Standard tests include:
Based on your test results and symptoms, your hormone doctor can determine if you are a candidate for HGH therapy. If treatment is advised, an individualized plan can be developed specific to your health goals.
Note: Low IGF-1 alone does not always indicate need for treatment. Clinical context is important when interpreting results. Our clinic takes a holistic approach to determine if HGH therapy is appropriate.
When administered properly under medical guidance, HGH therapy offers a breadth of meaningful benefits:
- Increased lean muscle mass - Improved strength and exercise capacity - Enhanced fat metabolism - Reduced stubborn body fat - Better bone mineral density - Strengthened bones - Improved skin thickness, texture and elasticity - Faster healing from wounds and injuries - Hair regrowth in those with hormonal hair loss - Improved physical mobility and range of motion

If you struggle with energy levels, body composition, or any symptoms of hormone imbalance, HGH therapy may help you reclaim your vitality!
While often associated with illegal doping in sports, HGH therapy has shown promise for treating depression in older adults by boosting levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, with some studies finding significant improvements in mood in just a few weeks with limited side effects.
HGH therapy programs utilize synthetic human growth hormone (somatropin), replicating the hormone produced naturally by the pituitary gland. HGH is typically administered via subcutaneous hgh injections, most commonly into the abdomen/stomach area.
Treatment plans are customized, but usually begin with a lower dose which is increased incrementally based on individual response and blood testing. Therapy protocols differ based on one's specific hormone goals:
General wellness/anti-aging - Low doses to restore youthful HGH levels
Body composition optimization - Moderate HGH doses to reduce fat and increase lean muscle mass
Injury healing - Short term high dose HGH to accelerate recovery
Height enhancement - Pediatric HGH therapy
Follow-up blood tests during therapy measure IGF-1, a key growth factor tied to HGH activity, guiding proper dosage adjustments. Close monitoring prevents adverse effects and ensures optimized treatment.
Our clinic focuses on wellness and body optimization goals for adults via personalized HGH therapy programs. Detailed lifestyle and nutritional guidance further complements treatment.
Seeking timely diagnosis and treatment for hormone imbalance is critical, be it growth hormone or other key hormones like testosterone. The deleterious effects of deficiency worsen over time if left untreated.
Symptoms dismissed as "normal aging" may actually reflect declining endocrine function amenable to therapy. Identifying and addressing deficiencies earlier allows one to regain vitality before impacts become severe.
While benefits manifest at any age, research confirms intervening sooner amplifies therapeutic response. Supporting the endocrine system proactively preserves long-term health. Our clinic offers comprehensive hormone testing to assess patient needs accurately.
